So I recently built my first quad. My setup was:
FC: Mamba f405 mk2 with 4-in-1 ESC
Motors: Racerstar SPROG 2206 2300kv
Rx: Frysky XM+
VTX: Eachine TX805 5.8G
Everything went smooth with the build, and I was able to successfully fly the quad about 5 or 6 times without any issue.
My most recent flight though went completely wrong... I got my quad up in the air and flew away about 60-70 yards, when all of the sudden I completely lost signal in my goggles and I heard the quad shoot straight up into the sky at maximum throttle, even though my throttle stick was almost all the way down. I ripped my goggles off to look for the quad in the sky but by that time it was so high up I couldn't see it, I could only hear it screaming a full speed farther and farther away. I was flipping switches and moving sticks on my controller but it didn't do anything. Eventually I just completely turned my controller off, causing the quad to eventually fall somewhere. I looked for the quad for a long time and drove around many blocks but never found it.
Anybody have any idea what the heck could have caused this to happen? I had the failsafe on my controller set to "no pulses." I hadn't had any crashes or problems in my previous flights. My mind is boggled that this randomly happened and makes me nervous to build another quad.
The only thing I can think of that could have possibly caused this is the fact that my soldering wasn't perfect. Like it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't perfect like I would see on youtube videos. I can't think of anything else that could have caused this to happen.
